Toshiba Paid Off To Drop HD-DVD?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the murky-dealings-of-international-business dept.

TripleP writes "Was Toshiba paid-off to concede the HD battle? There are some signs that may point to this as a direct result of the ended format war. Reuters has reported that Sony has agreed to sell its Cell and RSX fabrication plants in Japan to Toshiba. The WSJ is reporting that is is a joint venture in the form of 60% Toshiba,%20 Sony and %20 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc."

    What else can you store on a disc other than data? Multimedia is stored as data. Everything is data. I'm not sure if you just didn't explain yourself right, but I'm not sure how any of the layers could be used for anything other than storing data.
